2016 WINTER FOOTY DRAFT

Six sides competing in the 2016-17 Major League Footy Inaugural Season stocked their rosters with players comprised of the Tampa Bay ARFC senior list, as the 2016 Winter Footy Draft wrapped up the evening of November 11.

With Jason Kofender’s Pasco Black Dog having won the draft order lottery, Kofender wasted no time selecting US National Team veteran and Swans Senior Coach Dustin Jones with the #1 Overall selection.

The remaining picks of the seven round draft showed a mix of veteran players and emerging new talent, with 2016 awardees Janni Mirosevich, Jordan Calero, Benjamin Walker Austen Kugler and Kyle Roun all chosen in succession in the first round.

Squad captains were eligible to be selected by any other side due to the limited number of winter matches. Captains will revert to their own side in the event of a head-to-head match-up.

Major League Footy is the Florida Winter League of Australian Football, with a season running November 19, 2016 – February 25, 2017. Match formats are co-ed and played 7 or 9 a-side, except where noted.
